Tingtoeng 18
1 [Aka mawt ham, A thunkha boeih kah kut neh Saul kut lamkah a BOEIPA loh a huul khohnin vaengah hekah laa lung he BOEIPA taengah aka thui David, BOEIPA sal kah] Te dongah, “Kai kah ka thadueng, BOEIPA nang te kan haidam,” a ti.
I will love you, O LORD, my strength.
2 BOEIPA tah ka thaelpang, ka rhalvong neh kai aka hlawt, ka Pathen, ka lungpang la om. Amah dongah ka ying tih ka photling, daemnah molsom, neh ka imsang la om.
The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
3 Thangthen ham aka koih BOEIPA te ka khue vaengah ka thunkha rhoek kut lamkah ka daem.
I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from my enemies.
4 Dueknah rhuihet loh kai n'yen tih aka muen soklong loh kai n'let sak.
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me. (Sheol h7585)
6 Ka kho a bing vaengah BOEIPA te ka khue tih ka Pathen taengah ka pang. A bawkim lamloh ka ol a yaak tih ka pang ol loh amah hmai neh a hna khuila a pha.
In my distress I called on the LORD, and cried to my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
7 Te vaengah diklai tuen tih hinghuen. Amah taengah a sai dongah tlang yung rhoek khaw tlai uh tih tuen uh.
Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
8 A hnarhong lamkah hmaikhu thoeng tih a ka lamkah hmai loh a laeh vaengah hmai-alh khaw tak.
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
9 Te phoeiah vaan te a koiloep tih a suntlak vaengah yinnah tah a kho hmui la pawk.
He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
10 Cherub dongah ngol bal tih a ding vaengah khohli phae soah ding hang.
And he rode on a cherub, and did fly: yes, he did fly on the wings of the wind.
11 Khohmuep te a kaepvai kah a hlipyingnah la, khomong khomai kah tamyin tui te a dungtlungim la a khueh.
He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
12 Amah hmai kah a aa te a khomai khui lamkah rhael neh hmai alh la coe.
At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
13 Te phoeiah BOEIPA tah vaan lamkah loh ha kawk tih Khohni loh a ol a huel vaengah rhael neh hmai alh la thoeng.
The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.
14 A thaltang a kah tih amih te a taek a yaak. Rhaek neh a daeh tih amih te a khawkkhek.
Yes, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightning, and discomfited them.
15 Na thintoek kah na hiil yilh neh BOEIPA nang kah tluungnah dongah sokca kah tui phoe tih lunglai khaw a yung hoep.
Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at your rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
16 A sang lamloh yueng uh tih tui dueng khui kah kai he n'tuuk tih n'doek.
He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
17 Kai ham tah tlung uh coeng dae ka thunkha hlangtlung taeng lamkah neh ka lunguet taeng lamloh kai n'huul.
He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
18 Ka rhainah khohnin ah amih loh kai m'mah uh cakhaw kai ham tukcawt longkhawn la BOEIPA om.
They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
19 Tedae ka khuiah a naep dongah kai he a hoengpoeknah la n'thak tih kai n'pumcum sak.
He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20 Ka duengnah bangla BOEIPA loh kai n'thuung tih ka kut kah cimcaihnah vanbangla kai taengah ha mael.
The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.
21 BOEIPA kah longpuei ka ngaithuen tih ka Pathen taeng lamkah ka poehlip van pawh.
For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 Te dongah a laitloeknah boeih te kamah hmai ah ka khueh tih a khosing te kamah taeng lamkah ka phaelh pawh.
For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
23 Amah hmaiah cuemthuek la ka om tih kamah kah thaesainah lamloh ka cue uh.
I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from my iniquity.
24 Te dongah ka duengnah neh amah mikhmuh ah ka kut kah cimcaihnah vanbangla kai taengah BOEIPA loh n'thuung coeng.
Therefore has the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
25 Hingcim taengah uepom la na om tih, cuemthuek hlang taengah na cungkuem coeng.
With the merciful you will show yourself merciful; with an upright man you will show yourself upright;
26 Aka meet uh taengah na meet uh tih, voeldak te tah na hnueih.
With the pure you will show yourself pure; and with the fraudulent you will show yourself devious.
27 Namah loh pilnam mangdaeng te na khang tih mikhmuh kah aka pomsang rhoek khaw na kunyun sak.
For you will save the afflicted people; but will bring down high looks.
28 Ka BOEIPA Pathen namah loh ka hmaithoi nan tok tih ka hmaisuep khaw a tue.
For you will light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
29 Namah neh caem ka poeng tih ka Pathen nen tah pangbueng khaw ka poe thai.
For by you I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
30 Pathen tah a longpuei khangmai tih BOEIPA tah olthui a cimcaih dongah anih khuiah aka ying boeih ham tah photling la a om pah.
As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
31 BOEIPA phoeiah Pathen te unim? Mamih kah Pathen phoeiah tah unim lungpang bal?
For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?
32 Pathen loh kai he khuehtawn m'vah sak tih, ka longpuei khangmai la a khueh.
It is God that girds me with strength, and makes my way perfect.
33 Ka kho he sayuk bangla han saii tih, ka hmuensang ah kai m'pai sak.
He makes my feet like hinds’ feet, and sets me on my high places.
34 Ka kut he caemtloek ham a cang tih, ka ban loh rhohum lii khaw a phuk thai.
He teaches my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.
35 Namah kah khangnah photling te kai taengah nan paek tih, na bantang kut loh kai n'duel. Te dongah na kodonah neh kai nan rhoeng sak.
You have also given me the shield of your salvation: and your right hand has held me up, and your gentleness has made me great.
36 Ka kungdak kah ka kholaeh khaw na aeh dongah ka kho paloe pawh.
You have enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
37 Ka thunkha rhoek te ka hloem tih amih te ka kae phoeiah amih ka khah hlanah ka balkhong moenih.
I have pursued my enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
38 Amih te ka phop sak daengah ni thoo uh thai pawt tih ka kho tangah a bakop uh.
I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
39 Caemtloek ham khaw kai he thadueng nan vah sak tih kai aka tlai thil rhoek te kamah hmuila na koisu.
For you have girded me with strength to the battle: you have subdued under me those that rose up against me.
40 Te dongah ka thunkha rhoek kah a rhawn te kai taengah na duen sak tih ka lunguet te ka biit.
You have also given me the necks of my enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
41 BOEIPA taengah pang uh coeng dae khang voel pawt tih amih te doo voel pawh.
They cried, but there was none to save them: even to the LORD, but he answered them not.
42 Te dongah amih te khohli hman kah laipi bangla ka neet tih long kah tangnong bangla ka hawk.
Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
43 Pilnam kah tuituknah khui lamkah kai nan hlawt. Namtom kah a lu la kai nan khueh te aka ming pawh pilnam loh kai taengah tho a thueng.
You have delivered me from the strivings of the people; and you have made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
44 Ka ol te a hna dongah olthang la a yaak uh vaengah kholong ca rhoek loh kai taengah mai a tum uh.
As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves to me.
45 Kholong ca rhoek loh tahah uh tih a vongtung khui lamkah samoe uh.
The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
46 BOEIPA he hingnah la a om dongah ka lungpang tah a yoethen pai tih ka daemnah Pathen tah pomsang pai saeh.
The LORD lives; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
47 Pathen loh kai hamla tawnlohnah a paek dongah kai dangah ni pilnam a voek.
It is God that avenges me, and subdues the people under me.
48 Ka thunkha rhoek taeng lamkah kai nan hlawt, kai aka tlai thil soah kai nan pomsang bal. Hlang kah kuthlahnah lamkah kai nan huul.
He delivers me from my enemies: yes, you lift me up above those that rise up against me: you have delivered me from the violent man.
49 Te dongah BOEIPA nang te namtom taengah kan uem vetih na ming te ka tingtoeng ni.
Therefore will I give thanks to you, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises to your name.
50 A manghai kah khangnah tah len khaw len pai. Te dongah ni sitlohnah he a koelh taengah khaw, David neh a tiingan taengah khaw kumhal duela a saii pah.
Great deliverance gives he to his king; and shows mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for ever more.
